Ex-Mayor Woodbury., in behalf of Mr..
j. II. Booth, gave an informal supper to
the lumbermen of the city Friday at
the Van Ness House and to "A few other
invited guests. The evening was spent
very pleasantly in the discussion of var
ious matters. Among the topics under con
sideration were the proposed board of
trade, the Interstate commerce bill, re-
taliatory measures and how their business
would be effected by them.
The new trestle over the White river at
West Hartford WAS completed about 5
o'clock Monday afternoon. 1t stood the
test finely, and trains are now running
over it as usual. Bridge Master Clark
and his men did a lively and thorough
piece OF work in putting up the new tres
tie, having reconstructed it in about IS
hours. The structure contains 1895
feet of timber, and cost about $4,000.
1t is proposed by the authorities to carry
the dog law into effect the present year,
and kill all dogs that are not licensed by
May 10, the latest date on which a license
may be procured The proposed action
will commend itself to all lovers of quiet
on our streets, and the officers should
rigidly perform their duty in this respect.
There are hundreds of worthless ours that
are never licensed, and the only thing they
do is to snap at the heels of pedestrians
and scare little children half out of their
| wits.
Mr.. j. o. Bemis, president of the
| 1rh
in town few days since, expressed
himself as greatly pleased with the site
which the Burlington association pos
sesses and expressed belief that with an
appropriate building they would have a
better situation for doing good work for
young men than any association with
which he was acquainted. The Worces-
ter association have their new building
nearly completed. 1t is large, handsome
and well adapted to the work. 1t will
cost with lot, something over 100000.

CATION showed that large excavation had
been made in the ground below the frost,
as the result of a break in the wster pipe.
The sheet of earth over the excavation
was not over 10 inches thick in places and
the wonder is that it had not fallen in be
fore. A grown person could stand upright
in the deepest part of the excavation and
its extreme length was about IL feet. The
street cars stopped on either side of the

Monopoly in Our Carrying Trade.

The hearing before the board of rail,
road commissioners IN this city Wednesday
made tolerably plain TO the public the
fact which was already quite clear to a
good many business men of Burlington
that the business of this city is at the
mercy of a single railroad corporation ;
and that the railroad in which the city in
vested $780, 900 to GIT relief and insure per-
manent competition in her carrying trade
is used to keep the business men from ex-
tending their commerce into its natural
channels on the line of another railroad
There has been a constantly growing com
plant among the business men of Bur
lington that their own property was being
used as club with which to Stay them.
There is feeling among the merchants
and manufacturers of the city, that has
had frequent expression at home, that
Burlington has been disseminated
against that her freight and passenger
tariffs and accommodations have retarded
her business growth; and that the manu-
facturers of the city have had more than
legitimate competition to contend
against How true this is and how seri-
Gus the cause of complaint may
ne ledrueu ny peruSdl Oh our
report of Wednesdays hearing. The bust
ness men of the city have been somewhat
to blame themselves for this state of
things. The united action of the entire
business community, if persistent enough,
could right any such wrong. The power
of such a combination could not be sue
cessfnlly resisted, and Burlington will
not reach business success TIL that power
is asserted, Nothing binders the growth
nor demoralizes the business interests of
a city so much as monopoly in the carry
ing trades.

MAINE BANKS.
Annual Report Of state Bank Exam
u, s-s liner Richards.

Fred E. Richards, the State Bank Examiner,
has just completed his first examination for
1887, OF the savings banks, building associa-
tions and trust companies organized under
the laws of Maine.
The amount of deposits in the fifty-four
savings banks May LIST, was $3S, S,247, ,47O. So
an increase in the six months then closing
of 81. .o32. .399.49.
During the same period the reserved fund
has increased $52,S84.67 and amounts to ST.
41,629.27. The first examination of the
banks in 1886 showed that the value of their.
assets exceeded their actual liabilities by
S4,5SS.71976. The examination just con-
ciuded shows this excess to be S., 237, ,oO4 .92;
a gain in surplus during the year of $685.
2s5,l6. This increase comes almost wholly
from the appreciation in the market value of
securities, the. choicest bonds having made
the greatest advance.
Through the efforts of a committee con-
sisting of Il. A. Noyes, VIM. Moulton and
Hon. T. II. Haskell, the defaulted bonds Of
the city of Evansville, Ind. have been ex-
changed for a refunding bond bearing a
lower rate Of interest, which will undoubted-
iy be paid.
Investments have generally been made
with great care end disposition to invest in
the bonds of the counties, cities, towns and
corporations Of our own State is noticeably
increasing. In the matter of paying diyi-
dends there is no competition between banks
but an apparent emulation as to the charac-
ter of the security which constitute their
assets. and in increasing the strength of the
several institutions.
The Peoples Trust Company of Farming
ton has had wonderful growth, increasing
Its deposits during the year fromI $114,241.14

assets, convertible on the exchanges of 'Bos-
